With Julian Alaphilippe, you should never say never. Last year, he paraded x days in yellow on the roads of the Tour de France, followed the climbers in the heights and even slammed a time trial in front of stunned observers. So when Alaph 'said he does not feel able to repeat the 2019 feat as he did Wednesday in L'Equipe , we reserve the right to doubt a little.
In 2019, it was an exceptional Tour, no doubt. We don't have the team to fight for the general classification, and I don't have it in mind, I'm not going to prepare for that. The goal is to have a good Tour, but not to finish it exhausted, because I have other goals afterwards: the world championship and the classics.
For the World Cycling Championships, it will be necessary to wait until the end of September. The classics, on the other hand, arrive much faster with a return to the saddle at the Strade Bianche on Saturday and Milan-San Remo the following weekend. Two races that the French had won in 2019.
